A dental guard is an excellent investment for people who grind their teeth and clench their jaws in their sleep.
Compared to a stock mouthguard, a custom-made dental guard will be better customized to your mouth, providing the best fit, feel, and comfort. They also last longer than store-bought dental guards, which tend to lose shape after repeated use.
Considering the many benefits of using a custom-made dental guard, you must choose the right company to do the job. Continue reading to learn more about how you can find the right company for your needs.
Consider Their Experience
A good company knows how important it is to help you get a perfect fit. The staff should be well trained to ensure that their product is high quality and will stand up to wear and tear. Don’t hesitate to ask questions such as how long has the company been in business or do they have experience helping people like you.
A reputable company will be able to confidently guide you through the whole process of making sure your mouthguard is custom-fitted for your unique needs.
Quality of Materials
You’ll spend several hours every night with the guard in your mouth, so you want something comfortable and safe. The best materials are medical-grade, and some companies offer hypoallergenic alternatives for customers who need them.
Word of Mouth
The most effective way to choose the right company to customize your dental guard is by word of mouth. Ask your friends and family members for recommendations. Also, check with your dentist or orthodontist for a referral.
There are also some reliable sources you can use online. The American Dental Association (ADA) has a great website where you can look up a company and see if they’re ADA approved. You can also go to the Better Business Bureau website to see any complaints against the dental guard manufacturer you’re considering using.
Check Their Reviews
Reviews exist on their website, Google and Facebook. In general, a company that has reviewed — even bad ones — shows that the business is legitimate because it’s unlikely someone will take the time to write a review if they don’t have an actual product in hand (and it’s also unlikely a company will post negative reviews on their site).
Good Return Policy
If you have never used a mouthguard before, it can be challenging to know what type of guard or which brand will work best for you. You want to find a company that offers a good return policy just in case you find out the mouth guard doesn’t work as well as you had hoped.
The Final Word
For many people, customized night guards are an investment in their health and well-being worth every penny.
When you visit the dentist, expect them to do an examination and discuss your options. After you are examined, the dentist will be able to recommend the best type of dental guard for you.
